kind of hard to use. a good idea in theory. but if there's any construction or rerouting they don't know where you are. maybe worth a try if you know there's no construction nearby.

We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong. Best, Helene
Very informative and interesting, all with the convenience of being in my our car. Lots of history about the area plus information on the area. Highly recommend.
There are a lot of optional scenic stops along the way so give yourself several hours to really enjoy the experience.
So clear and easy to follow up. Nice views, good recommendations, give the time to view according our times.
Lake Tahoe is always beautiful not matter the time of year! Crew up in the area and miss it. Looking to move back to Reno this summer!
Great self-guided tour. Lots of interesting historical and cultural information. The technology was amazing, with the narrator speaking only when we reached a designated point.
We where very disappointed We purchased south lake Tahoe to Virgina city Half way thru it died and we could not get back into the tour. We should be credited for that program. 1st tour worked great.
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience on the second tour, but pleased to hear that you enjoyed the first one. Can you email more information to support@voicemap.me? This way, we can identify exactly what went wrong. We can troubleshoot the issue and process a refund if you email us your details. I'm sorry for your frustrating experience. Regards, Brent
Miss a few highlights, having to circle back. Prefer to have a little bit longer trip. There's enough time to circle the whole lake
This link is so glitchy!!! It was difficult to download everything, and when I entered the code, it took me up an undeveloped trail. Took us a while to have room to turn around. One hour to travel a few miles. Her narrating is also off and out of order. It was a mess. 100% do not recommend.
Hi We're sorry to hear you had a bad experience. This is usually a highly-rated tour. It sounds like you might not have started the tour from the starting point or that you tried to do the tour in reverse. The GPS should track your location and play audio at the right time and place. If there was an issue and it wasn't tracking your location, there's usually a reason for that. Thanks, Alicia
It didn’t work!! I tried several different times and ways to download it but it wouldn’t show up in the app. It didn’t have any problems charging my credit card, however!
Hi Lisa We're sorry to hear that you weren't able to use the tour. You were sent a voucher code to redeem the tour in the VoiceMap app. This is usually a highly-rated tour. Could you please message us directly at support@voicemap.me with more information about what happened? Thanks, Alicia
